(This is something I've been running successfully since 2006 with FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE (RELENG_6) but kept to myself out of fear that purists will feel offended ;) This patch extends the FreeBSD /proc filesystem (procfs) by adding support for some entries that are present on other systems: Linux, Solaris and even NetBSD (/proc/self & /proc/<pid>/exe) The entries in question are: /proc/self -- Pointer to /proc/<pid> (FreeBSD uses /proc/curproc) /proc/<pid>/exe -- FreeBSD uses /proc/<pid>/file /proc/<pid>/cwd -- Pointer to the current working directory. /proc/<pid>/root -- Pointer to the root directory. I think it's convenient to add those because a lot of software originally developed in the above systems above will integrate more easily, including software in ports as you will see: Fix: The attached patch is against -CURRENT. The patch to RELENG_6 is available to anyone on demand. This patch is a trivial one... /proc/self & /proc/<pid>/exe exist in FreeBSD but with different names. The code for /proc/<pid>/cwd & /proc/<pid>/root was copied verbatim from src/sys/compat/linprocfs/linprocfs.c,v 1.119 2008/03/31 12:01:18 kib.
